GROW OLD ALONG WITH ME!
Luke 2:36-38
Let's look tonight at Luke chapter two and I want to read about
a lady in the bible who qualifies as a senior citizen. One of the
elderly characters of the bible. We enjoyed our Lamplighters singing
tonight for us. They have a monthly meeting and we are vitally inter-

matter of the family. And I made a dilligent effort to include every-
one from tiny to ninety. I believe that every family member is very

life. Someone has said that in family life there are five very important
areas or that family life can be divided into five areas. There is first
of all family founding. WhEn the family is begun the marriage is consumated
and the family is founded. And then there is child bearing. After
this is child rearing. Then number four there is child 1-unching. Then
number five we come to the time which is commonly called the empty ne ...
